Spiritual Quotes About Honesty

Honesty is something people don’t think of when they consider what they know within themselves and the value of what they do.

Then the issue of honesty is brought up with great emphasis. So, in your own life, think of what honesty means in terms of what you tell yourself and not only in terms of what you tell others. Let us start here. Tell yourself a lie, and you will lie to others. Alter the truth to yourself, and the representation of truth to you will be altered as well. Base your activities or plans on one thing that is false, and the outcome will disappoint you. This is where honesty must be considered anew and be given a greater application… Read more about where honesty really starts.
